About CollecTF

CollecTF, a play on words using the French collectif [collective] and the acronym for
transcription factor [TF], is a database of transcription factor binding sites (TFBS) in the
Bacteria domain.

CollecTF aims at becoming a reference, highly-accessed database by relying on its ability to
customize navigation and data extraction, its relevance to the community, the quality and detail of
the stored data and the up-to-date nature of the stored information.

Features

CollecTF exclusively stores data on experimentally-validated TFBS and places special emphasis on
providing a transparent curation process that captures the experimental support for sites as
reported by authors in peer-reviewed publications.

The CollecTF curation model combines direct author submissions and in-house curation. If you
have data to submit, please do
contribute it!

Reported binding sites are mapped
to NCBI RefSeq complete genome
records to provide genomic context and the experimental process is detailed
during curation. Curation records are open for inspection. Please,
let us know if you spot an error.
